Uma began to worry when she had been waiting for a few hours. She didn't think it should take that long for them to check the kid over. Just as Uma was about to go back there herself to see what could possibly be taking so long Mal came running out with a huge smile on her face. While Evie was following after with a very angry look on her face.
"Auntie Uma! Auntie Uma! guess what! I broke my arm so I got this really cool cast! Look! Look! Look! It's purple! That's my most favoritest color! Oh and I got cool stitches too! They hurt really badly and mommy had to hold me while I was crying, but now they look really cool! I can't wait to show Olivia and Sebastian!" The small girl screamed out happily making Uma laugh a bit even though she was now feeling horrible.
Uma just looked at Evie once they had made it to the car and the small girl was distracted with her lollipop and with examining her new cast showing it off to her dragon toy. "She broke her arm and had to get stitches?" Uma asked Evie as she was feeling so guilty. Evie just looked at Uma as she was still angry with her and now she was even more angry that Mal had actually broken her arm.
"And a concussion yes," Evie told Uma as she got into the driving seat. Uma just sighed as she looked back at the small girl. "All of that just for falling off of a dang countertop," Uma asked Evie in shock as she didn't see how one fall could cause so much damage. Evie just rolled her eyes.
"Yes! Uma she fell face first onto a tile floor from a pretty high up counter top. Not only that but she's small! This is why I didn't want to leave her with you in the first place! You don't listen to a word I say! I warned you before I left to watch her and keep a close eye on her and what do you do? You decide to disregard every single one of my rules and you basically neglect her! And now she's hurt!" Evie screamed out to Uma as she was so furious with Uma right now.
Uma just looked at Evie in disbelief as she had been feeling guilty, but Evie was acting like she never messed up when that was clearly not true. "Yeah I messed up and I'm sorry about that. I promise I will never be that careless again since I already feel horrible about this, but don't act like you're perfect! You knew the receptionist at the ER and she knew you by your name! How many times have you been to the ER that you are on a first name basis with the receptionist," Uma screamed back to Evie. Evie just rolled her eyes again.
"We don't go that often! I'm just a friendly person so I like to talk to people. I can't help it. Besides when we do go it's not because I wasn't watching her like an irresponsible person. I'm always watching her because unlike you I love her! And by the way you're done seeing Mal! I don't want you anywhere near her again," Evie told Uma back as she couldn't believe that Uma was trying to use Evie as a way to justify what happened.
Uma just looked at Evie in shock. "I'm sorry what! No you can't do that! You can't ban me from seeing TIny Tot! And I do love the kid! She's like my niece and you know that! I already admitted to messing up what more do you want from me! I can't take it back, it happened already! I'm sorry for neglecting her okay. It won't happen again because I care about her too and I feel so guilty right now! Just don't ban me from seeing her!" Uma screamed out to Evie, making the small four year old just begin to cry from all of the yelling as it was scaring her.
And she didn't like it when Evie yelled or when Uma yelled. "Mommy! Auntie Uma! Please stop fighting! You're scaring me! Are you not friends anymore," The small girl cried out immediately, gaining the attention of Evie and Uma. Evie just sighed as she pulled into the nearest parking lot as she parked the car and unbuckled getting out and going to Mal's side to unbuckle her as well.
Uma just unbuckled too as she had no clue what Evie was doing but she was kinda scared right now. Once Evie had Mal out of her car seat Evie picked her up and bounced a bit calming the scared and crying four year old.
"Shh Mal honey it's okay. Mommy and Auntie Uma didn't mean any of that okay. I was just mad because you got hurt and I don't like it when you get hurt. It makes me not think straight and I was just taking my anger out on Auntie Uma and I shouldn't have done that. Yes I was mad at her because I trusted her to watch you and you got hurt, but I shouldn't have taken it so far. Me and Auntie Uma are still really good friends and nothing is going to change that okay," Evie told the small girl who stopped crying as she nodded her head.
Uma just stood behind Evie not saying anything as she didn't know what to say and she didn't know if Evie had even wanted Uma to hear that, but Uma was brought out of her thoughts when Evie grabbed Uma and pulled her into a hug.
"I know you heard all of that. I meant it okay. I shouldn't have gone off like that, but I do want to warn you this is your first strike if you get to three then you're done seeing her do you hear me?" Evie told Uma with a small smile who gave Evie a small smirk as she realized that was Evie's way of saying she forgave her and that she could keep seeing the small girl.
Uma just nodded as she looked at Evie. "Alright and I'm sorry too. I should have been watching her. And I shouldn't have gotten mad at you for getting mad at me when you had every right to be mad. Now are we done with all of this gooey sappy feelings stuff. Let's just agree to never speak about this again and just pretend like it didn't happen because I have a reputation to keep up," Uma told Evie as she quickly released herself from Evie and tried to get back into the car, but froze when it was locked.
Uma just looked at where they were and her eyes widened in panic when she saw that they were parked at a Mall which was Uma's least favorite place to be. "Oh no we are not going to the mall! You know I hate the mall," Uma screamed out while looking at Evie who was smirking. "Sorry Uma but the mall calms me down. Besides this is where the best children's clothes are. And they have a cool fabrics store too and I could use some more materials. Plus I really love checking out the competition," Evie told Uma with a shrug as she walked towards the mall entrance.
Uma just looked at Evie in confusion as Evie was a fashion designer, so why was she talking about buying clothes. "Okay I get the fabrics thing and the whole checking out the competition thing, but why are you buying kid clothes when you make clothes," Uma asked Evie in annoyance. Evie just sighed as she looked at Mal. "Mal sweetie, tell Auntie Uma why mommy doesn't make your clothes," Evie told the small girl who smiled as she looked at Uma.
"Because mommy makes boring clothes! Her clothes don't have cartoons on them! I like the clothes here because they're cool!" The small girl told Uma who just nodded as she looked at Evie. "So what I'm hearing is that you suck at making children's clothes," Uma told Evie with a smirk making Evie roll her eyes as they entered the mall.
"I don't suck at making children's clothes. It's just not easy to make kiddy designs and I don't know how to make cartoon designs on clothes. Plus it's easier for me to just buy clothes for her. I have a job that I have to do in order to provide for her since we don't get meals or housing for free anymore and I don't have time to make her clothes, raise her, and still make clothes for my business. Now I don't want to argue anymore," Evie told Uma as she placed the four year old down and went walking towards the fabrics store.
Uma just groaned knowing that Evie had won again as she just followed after Evie and the four year old that was holding onto Evie's hand with her left arm as her right arm was in a purple cast. Uma hated the mall, but she knew that Evie was still not 100% over what Uma had done, so she figured that she should just let it go and let Evie have her way.
When they reached the fabrics store Evie just let go of Mal's hand as she looked at her. "Okay Mal stay right here and do not move okay. I'm just going to be right over there. I mean it Mal. Do not move from this spot. Now what do you do," Evie told the small girl. Who just smiled and looked at her. "Do not move from this spot," Mal told Evie who just nodded as she hugged the small girl and walked with Uma to go check out the fabrics.
As soon as Evie left to go check out the fabrics the small four year old grew bored. As she got up from her seat and began to make her way out of the store to go explore the mall. Mal knew that Evie told her to stay there, but Mal wasn't going to be gone long and she knew exactly where Evie was. Plus Mal had seen a toy store when they were walking towards the fabrics store and she wanted to find it.
Especially since Mal had gotten money from her Auntie Uma after she got hurt since Uma had felt bad and decided to give Mal some money to make up for it, so Mal now had money. Mal just started walking towards where she had seen the toy store, but she quickly realized that she had no clue where it was and that the mall was a lot bigger than she had thought.
Mal began to grow scared as she decided to just head back to the fabrics store, but Mal began to cry when she noticed that she didn't know where the fabrics store was and she didn't recognize where she was at all. "Mommy!" The small girl cried out as she began to wander around the mall in search of Evie. Just as the small girl began to cry louder as she began to lose hope of finding Evie, a blonde haired girl knelt down by her as the older girl had seen the scared little girl and wanted to help her.
"Aw hi there sweetie. Are you lost? Come on Lola and I can help you find your mommy," the blonde haired girl told the small four year old who stopped crying as she looked up for the first time and her eyes widened in shock when she saw the brunette girl standing next to the blonde haired girl as the brunette girl looked exactly like her mommy, but with different hair.
"Mommy?" Mal called out in confusion as she ran over to Lola making the girl immediately look at the four year old in shock and Jenny did the same. "Okay no I'm definitely not your mom. I'm way too young for kids. And I don't even know if I ever do want kids," the older girl told the small girl making Mal start crying again as she was too confused by all of this. That girl looked exactly like her mommy, but she was claiming that she wasn't her mommy.
Jenny just tried to calm down the four year old as she had experience with young kids from all of her babysitting, but this one was refusing to stop crying as she just kept looking at Lola. Jenny just sighed as she looked at Lola. "Will you just hold her until we can find her mommy. You clearly look like her mom for her to think that you were her mom. And we can't just leave her here by herself," Jenny told her older friend in frustration, making Lola just sigh as she picked up the crying four year old who stopped crying once Lola had picked her up.
"Oh wow I dig your hair," Lola told the small girl as she got a good look at the four year old and realized that the small girl had pretty cool looking purple hair. Mal just nodded as she held up her cast.
"Yeah me too! It's purple that's my favorite color! That's why I also got a cool purple cast because I fell off the high counter and broke my arm. My mommy was really mad at my Auntie Uma from it, but I think it's cool," the small girl told Lola excitedly as she was feeling safe with her despite the fact that Mal knew this girl wasn't her mommy. She looked like her though and that was enough to make Mal feel comfortable with her. Not only that, but it was as if Mal felt connected to this girl in some way.
Before Lola could really respond to the small girl Evie came running as fast as she possibly could with Uma in tow as Evie had freaked out when she finished buying stuff at the fabric store and found the four year old not sitting in her seat.
Evie had begun to panic until she remembered that she had a tracker on Mal that she had put inside of Mal's stuffed dragon since Mal didn't go anywhere without it. Evie didn't even hesitate as she quickly grabbed the four year old out of Lola's hands and squeezed the small girl as tightly as she could.
"Mal! Oh my gosh! Why? Why? Why? Why do you keep doing this to me? I told you to stay in that chair. Why did you not do that? You almost gave me a heart attack when I couldn't find you. You promised me that you wouldn't run off this time," Evie lectured out to Mal while squeezing her tightly. Mal just smiled as she squeezed Evie back. "Mommy I'm sorry. I wanted to go to the toy store, but I got lost and I couldn't find you. I got really scared mommy," the small girl told Evie as Evie just picked Mal up.
Evie looked up to thank the two girls for staying with Mal, but completely froze in shock as she came face to face with a brunette girl that looked exactly like her and Lola reacted the same way as she started in shock at the blue haired girl that had taken the four year old from her grip. The blue haired girl really did look exactly like her no wonder the young girl had mistaken her for her mommy.
Uma, Jenny, Evie, and Lola all just stood there in complete shock not saying anything as none of them knew what to say. Mal just giggled as she looked at Lola. "See I told you that you looked like mommy. Are you and mommy twins? You look like twins. My best friend Olivia has twin cousins, but they don't look the same! But my favorite Tv show is Liv and Maddie and they are twins that look the same," the small four year old rambled to the others as she didn't understand why everyone was just standing there not talking.
When nobody seemed to respond Mal just sighed as she used her uninjured arm to poke at Evie. "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" The small girl screamed out while tugging at Evie's arm finally breaking Evie and the others from their trance as Evie looked at the small girl. "Yes Mal what is it?" Evie asked the small girl making Mal groan in frustration as she looked at Evie. "Mommy I already asked you, but you didn't answer me! Are you and her twins? Because you look like twins!" The small girl asked Evie, making Evie sigh as she didn't know how to answer her baby sister.
Evie honestly didn't know if she was twins with this girl. Normally Evie wouldn't think anything of it, but after finding out what their mom did to Mal then honestly her mom could have done more horrible things as well. Like possibly having twins and getting rid of one. She couldn't know for sure right now, but it definitely wasn't out of the possibility.
Evie just sighed as she looked at the small girl who kept poking at her as Evie had been zoning out and not answering her question. Not only was Mal concerned, but Uma, Jenny, and Lola were concerned too. Evie just smiled embarrassingly as she looked at Mal. "Mal baby girl I honestly don't know possibly," Evie told the small girl, making the other just look at Evie in shock as they weren't expecting her to say that.
Author's Note: I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and let me know what you guys thought or what you think is going to happen next. Also in case you guys are confused Lola and Jenny are from the DCOM Adventures In Babysitting 2016.

I've also been playing with the idea of adding more of Sofia's characters in this story as well since I have lots of ideas that could work, so let me know if you would like me to do that as well. And if you would like me to let me know which characters you would like to see me add.
